KBP02M/1

Overview

The KBP02M/1 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an average forward current of 1.5 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device utilizes a glass-passivated silicon junction for reliability. Electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A, a maximum DC reverse voltage of 140 V, and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at rated current. Reverse leakage current is specified at 5 uA. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +165 °C and dissipates up to 3.5 W of power.

Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated silicon junction provides high reliability and resistance to mechanical stress.
• Designed for printed circuit board mounting with high case dielectric strength.
• Capable of handling high surge currents suitable for general-purpose AC-to-DC full-wave rectification.

Applications

• General purpose AC-to-DC bridge full wave rectification
• Switching power supply circuits
• Home appliance control boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /1 against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm if it denotes a specific tape-and-reel variant or packaging difference compared to the standard tube version. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for low-power AC-to-DC conversion applications requiring through-hole SIP-4 mounting. The 200 V rating suits low-voltage AC inputs. Consider thermal management for the 3.5 W power dissipation limit. Verify that the 1.5 A continuous current and 50 A surge capability meet the load requirements. Compare against similar Vishay KBP series parts for alternative voltage ratings or package styles if system constraints differ.

Part Context

The KBP02M/1 belongs to the Vishay KBP series of glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers. This family offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 1.5 A current rating and SIP-4 package. The series is designed for cost-effective PCB mounting in consumer electronics and industrial controls where moderate surge capability and high reverse voltage blocking are required.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay KBP series bridges with matching 1.5 A and 200 V ratings, such as KBP02G or KBP02L, provided pinout and package dimensions are identical. Cross-brand equivalents like MDD KBP02M or LRC KBP02M may be considered if electrical parameters and physical footprint match exactly. Verify reverse voltage derating requirements when substituting.
